A Cake Full of Butter Lies

Birthday girl Jenna Claire is allergic to tree nuts. Unfortunately, this means she had to share her cake with "Trez Hats".

(If you think that handwriting is bad, imagine what the order form looked like.)

And for little Ava's birthday, her folks splurged and got her the lovechild of Satan and Minnie Mouse:

[chipmunk voice] "RED RUM RED RUMMMM..."

This was on the side of a wedding cake, so....

...looks like someone DID believe it's not butter.

And finally, the best cookie cake mic drop ever:

BYE BICTHIS.

Thanks to Ryan U., Kaleigh E., KT, LJ, & Aleisha C. for the fond farewell.

And finally, because it made me laugh:

Sunday Sweets Mixes It Up

There's a growing trend to make every tier on multi-tiered cakes completely different from the others, and while I'm usually a matchy-matchy kinda girl, I gotta say, some of these are downright magical:

(Sweet Symphony Desserts, India)

OooOOooh. Those iridescent leaves made my jaw drop. 

 And here come some of my favorite colors:

(Tortilnico, Bulgaria)

This one feels like an entire art exhibit all by itself:

(Ami, Uganda)

I've always loved bold stripes and florals together:

(Hey There Cupcakes, San Diego)

Classic.

Here's a more modern twist on the shape:

(Kara's Couture Cakes, online tutorials)

Those teals planks are such a great contrast with the gold.

Pattern clashing looks amazing with limited colors:

(Magical Edible Art, Canada)

Like these!

(Sugar Cakes, Canada)

And I'm even more impressed when bakers make it work with a whole range of unusual combos:

(Charm City Cakes, Maryland)

There's a lot going on here to love. That ruffle? The micro beads? Amazing.

Ohhh, look at this marbling:

(Rebekah Naomi Cake Design, Virginia)

Such great colors!

I debated whether or not this next one was too weird, but I both love it and kinda want to hug it?

(Sugarpatch Cakes, UK)

Look at those awesome textures! I think the middle tier is actually covered with roses, but they look like fluffy pom-poms from here.

And finally, a modern day-glo beauty that looks like a piece of digital art come to life:

(Charm City Cakes West, Los Angeles)

That red palm frond layered over a blue flower is my favorite. So good.

I hope these made you smile, gang, and that your Sunday is extra Sweet.
